Remember

Remember

Even though the world is in a giant knot

Tightening and restricting 

Coiling and controlling

We still have flowers

We still have beaches

We still smile and laugh

We still have dogs and cats

Puppies and kittens

We still have grandmas and grandpas

We still have colors

We still have chocolate chip cookies

And buttercream frosting

We still have potato chips

We still have trees

We still have soccer and basketball and hockey and baseball and softball

And football (I suppose)

We can still enjoy our lives

We can still fight to have lives

We can still advocate

We can still learn

We can still love

We are still together

He can try to take that away

But really, this is the America

we are fighting for

And we will not let him destroy our happiness

Because at stake are all of the things

The chocolate chip cookies

The grandparents

The flowers

And they are all worth fighting for.
